LUTHER I think a lot of us are afraid of that, yeah. ALICE Then why? LUTHER To tell you I know you kept the gun. ALICE Well, why would I do that? LUTHER Because you couldn’t help yourself. ALICE And how did you arrive at this diagnosis? LUTHER See, you think you’re unique - but so does everyone else with your disorder. You’re all unique in exactly the same way. ALICE Wouldn’t it make things easy for you if that were true. But it’s not. There’s no gun to find. LUTHER Keeping it wasn’t a rational decision. It was a compulsion, something you did because you needed to. That compulsion makes you weak in ways you can’t see and don’t understand. And it will bring you down. Always does. Tick tock. Tick tock. ALICE Are you threatening me? Because honestly, I wouldn’t. LUTHER And why’s that? ALICE Come, now. Really. Because I’d be hurt and angry. LUTHER You trying to frighten me now? ALICE Why, are you frightened?
